A perfect combination of magnificent Victorian charm and supreme natural beauty is the only way to describe Silverton. High in the Rocky Mountains, Silverton sits in a valley at 9318-feet elevation. You can view this stunning scenery aboard the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

The possible adventures are endless in the Silverton area, we have music festivals, races, museums, wilderness areas, ghost towns and cemetaries, gold mine and mill tours, and holiday celebrations.

Silverton exists solely because of the rich treasures that the surrounding mountains hold. Though the mining is gone, the spirit lives on today and a visit to this mountain-high community is one that you will not soon forget, and you will be delighted that you chose it as your vacation base.
